In the beginning there was a boat called Earth. It sailed on
the
Logos, the only sea to ever exist.

The Logos was special, it was energy.
It traveled through the ocean and was the ocean. Rolling on the tides and through them.

The
Earth was empty at first, but the Logos kept the ship on course and
after some time, life could inhabit the mighty vessel. As
if it had simply POP-ed into existence, a speck of life sat on Earth.
It had limited senses and no mobility, a single-celled organism. It sat
patiently for a long time, before hearing a soft whisper on the wind,
"You will be rewarded for your patience and trust."

And
suddenly another speck of life popped into existence. It was very
similar to the first creature, with only slightly more advanced senses.
It too sat patiently and after some time, heard the soft whisper on the
wind, "You will be rewarded for your
patience and trust."

Suddenly a third speck of life popped
into existence. This was more advanced and had more senses
than the previous life forms but was still quite simple.

For billions of years this process
continued to take place. And after billions of years, the life on Earth
had become quite diverse. Each of the different creatures had found a
place aboard Earth where they would not rock the boat, they had a balance with one another and an
understanding with the Logos. They let it steer their lives and their
faith had been rewarded each time with a new shipmate to share their
experience with.

One day, after having sat in it's place for a
long time, the wind carried a message to the great Ape, "You will be rewarded for
your patience and trust." And the first Human being came into
existence.

The human opened his eyes and studied the creatures
around him, as they studied him. He noticed that no one was steering
their ship and thought he heard a voice tell him to go take the wheel.
And so he stood on his feet and walked toward the ship's wheel,
something no
other creature had ever done.

The
animals watched the man, unsure of his intentions and fearful of what he
might do. Every creature had sat in it's place and let the Logos do the
steering, seeing this new creature break the rules they had followed made them very anxious and they went to attack the him.

The human was superior to the animals and was able to subdue them by force, killing some and locking the rest in cages.

With the animals locked away, the human walked up to the wheel of the ship. As he gripped it, he
felt a surge of energy coarse through him, like a jolt of electricity flowing through is body. After a
moment he became used to the power and set a course straight into the
sun.

Slowly but steadily, the waves got rougher and the weather became stormy. The
human's change of course brought the Earth into some dangerous areas, one
wave hit the Earth so strongly that a few animals were knocked off,
falling back into the Logos to never be seen or heard of on Earth again.
And through all of this, the human stood stubbornly at the wheel, trying
for his life to steer the ship through the rough waters.

Thunderous clouds and lightning flashes, pouring rain hitting his face- the human was being drained of his
energy when suddenly he
heard a familiar voice whisper to him, "You will be rewarded for your patience
and trust."

And the human suddenly found himself a new
mate. It was another human, but of the female variety. She looked
identical to the man but held herself differently, as if she wasn't
affected by the severe weather around them. The rain pelting her face, a
smile creeping in from the sides of her lips.

She had an
heir of confidence about her, as if everything was perfect exactly as
it was. She was born with intuition the man did not
possess. She could see the patterns, she could understand them. She
looked at all the animals around her and could see her place amongst
them. She knew that each animal on Earth was just another form for the
Logos to inhabit, simply another vessel by which to travel.

The rain
continued to pour down on them, the woman was soaked but looked
beautiful
to the Man. She took his hand and led him away from the wheel. He tried
to speak to her but only sounds would come out. She looked at him,
looked at the animals in the cages. He
followed her gaze and looked at the animals. Suddenly his awareness shifted, as if he'd never seen the animals
before....a heavy weight began to grow on his chest.

The man
looked up at the ship, seeing the torn sails and broken bows. He
thought back to a time when everything was bright and shiny, a cool
breeze in the air, animals co-existing peacefully. He looked back to the
cages and worn ship. He looked down at his hands, the tools responsible
for the damage he'd done.

The woman held his hands in hers,
"These are responsible for much, but look where you brought us. Do you
think anyone else here could have steered Earth? You were chosen."

The
man looked up, seeing the Earth travel underneath a giant rainbow
towards a majestic island full of trees and rolling hills.

She
spoke to him again as she let the animals out of their cages, "We all
have a part to play. This was your role, your part to play.... Don't
fight it."

Sensations and Thoughts

I like to think and feel to my max. I let myself fall into feelings and then fuel my writing from those places.
I write it out of my system so that it's not bundled up inside of me, so I like to go extreme.
My short stories are fueled by me going to message boards and getting pissed off with how dumb people act.
I write with mind of a man and live with the body of an animal
